T0 ALL WHOMIT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JOHN C. MILL'WARD, of the city, county, and AState of New York, have invented a new Improvement in Stained Glass; and Ido here-by declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilleu-in the art 'to make and use the same, reference being had to .the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification,` in whichu Figure 1 is a plan or top view of nly invention- Figure 2 is a cross-section ofthe same.

This invention relates to a very simpledevice whereby stained Yor painted glass may be inadeto appear as' if pearl-work were laid underneath it. v

The invention consists in laying a piecel of' crystallized sheetvzinc under or behind a piece of stained orpaintedglass, whereby the glass will not ,onlyl be considerably strengthened, but whereby those pofrtions'ot' the .glass which `are left transparent 'will look as if they were inlaid with pearl. Gela-ss plates thus ornamented may be -used on fancy boxes and other devices. The zine or other"erystallize'd sheet-metal plate is veryA cheap, and lconseouently suc-h boxes or work can be produced at a veryl low price, while it can only be distinguished from vreal work by very close scrutiny. A l v l v In the drawing, the glass plate A is laid upon a crystallized metal plate, B, whereby the aforesaid effect is produced upon those portions of the glass which are left transparent. A

Having thus described my invention, what I clailn as new,.an(l desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

'lhe application of the crystallized.sheet-metal plate B to the under side of the glass,against `the paint or staining, as herein described. for the purpose specified v j J. C. MILLWARD.
